Brought to you by the very same hypocrites who 30 odd years ago drove around in beat up rusted out VW's and Volvos held together with bumper stickers saying "Question Authority" and smugly proclaiming "I read banned books". Anyone here who grew up in NYC remember these ads placed on the busses and subways?
They featured Asians, Latinos, American Indians, people who were obviously not Jewish. These were among the most clever ad campaigns in the history of marketing. Or how about Lucky Charms cereal? For last 50 yrs. this product has been represented by a cartoon caracature of a superstitious silly green leprechaun with an obvious Irish brogue. Have the Hibernians or the Emerald Society ever complain?

The way they talk in the T&J cartoon sounds better than most of them today...That’s the truth.

There are some old Bugs Bunny cartoons in black and white that aren't shown on tv anymore because they have been deemed “offensive.” One contained a number of “slurs” against the Japanese. This cartoon was made during World War II when Japan was our enemy, but instead of viewing the cartoon in the context of the time it was made, the PC crowd has had the cartoon banned.

A cure for Ebola may be found before they find a cure for stupidity, socialism and a certain religion designated as peaceful.

(Is she somehow related)
To: Impala64ssa
I do. I lived in the New York area from 1954 to 1984.
The milieu I grew up in was white ethnic. We told ethnic jokes to each other and enjoyed them. And most of us were Democrats.
A different time.

I know you can buy Amos and Andy online, but it sure would be nice to see it on Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, or RedBox.
As for the Little Rascals, I’m sure there are some of those that aren’t allowed either.
For that matter, the George Clooney movie “Oh Brother Where Art Thou?” probably has a few scenes that could offend.
You know, I even like seeing the “Birth of the Nation” once in a while.
I say put it all out there. Let folks see it. Discuss it. If you show how blacks were supposedly treated terribly, it’s rather enlightening how they are treated today.
You see, this is the real problem. They can’t show the old dated stuff, because then it would be impossible to continue the big lie, that racism is still terribly rampant in this nation.
There are undoubtedly biases, but today they are mostly earned.
In days gone buy, they weren’t.
We live in a different world. We just have folks who wish to game the system.

And whose mouths is the N word flying out of these days? I can assure you not many of them are conservatives and none of them are white. Absolute nonsense.

Every Black person I've known would bust out in hysterical laughter at the mere mention of this show. Back in 1983 there was an excellent documentary made "Amos n Andy, Anatomy of a Controversy" narrated by George Kirby. In it Jesse Jackson surprisingly said he never really found anything wrong with it because it reminded him of some of the people he grew up around in Chicago, and that show opened doors for Bill Cosby, Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr, etc. And not only Blacks. Jackie Gleason, in one of his last TV appearances said it was Amos n Andy that gave him the inspiration for the Honeymooners.

Have the Hibernians or the Emerald Society ever complain?If someone is really - and I mean really - proud of their ancestry, then they won't feel overly offended by someone else applying a so-called "ethnic slur" to them, unless there is an obvious intent to offend.
Of course, when a certain word - any word - has historically been used and heard only in the context of an attempt to offend, then that word remains "charged" with ethnic animus.

Huh...Nope...Not there either. No warning.
I just browsed Tyler Perry titles on Amazon. There’s no “THAT’S RACIST” warning.

I bought a “bootleg” DVD of “Song of the South” about 5 years ago, to show the grand kids.
“Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My, oh my what a wonderful day!
Plenty of sunshine heading my way
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Mister Bluebird on my shoulder
It’s the truth, it’s actch’ll
Ev’rything is satisfactch’ll
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!”

Looney Tunes box sets come with the same stupid whoopi Goldberg message. May she end up like Wile E. Coyote!

Not only then the Japanese were our enemies, but it should be taken in the context of what the Japanese were doing to our POWs at that time.
